SECOND PAROLE APPLICATION REJECTED FOR GURMUKH SINGH

Details

18 July 2016

Sikh political prisoner Gurmukh Singh, today had his second parole application rejected by the Chandigarh and Haryana High Court. This has come as a shock because his co-accused Makhan Singh Gill has benefitted from two paroles visits this year where he was reunited with his family and loved ones. Sikh Relief has been supporting Gurmukh Singh via legal fees, maintenance support and also supporting his family for over four years.

It is worth noting that after serving half their sentence, Indian Judiciary system allows a prisoner 28 to 42 days parole every six month of the year to visit their family and loved ones. In July 2010 Gurmukh Singh was arrested by Panjab police and falsely charged with possession of illegal weapons, under Sections 3/4/5 of the Explosives Act and Sections 25/54/59 of the Arms Act. He was sentenced to ten years imprisonment in October 2010

Sikh Relief will now be submitting a third application to the High Courts to secure a parole access for Gurmukh Singh, we will keep you posted as this case progresses.

Being back with my family after so many years feels so unreal, I dont think it has sunken in yet. I want to thank Sikh Relief and the world-wide sangat who supported them in helping get me release. Sikh Relief has looked after all aspects of my life while I was in prison, whether it was my fathers eye operation, childrens school fees, lawyers fees etc. I cannot express how grateful I am. Thank You.
